    This is already a risk whether via the existing thumbnail storage

    Not anymore. You can opt out of it for the most part.

    # Leave images unchanged, don’t generate any local thumbnails for post urls. Instead the the
    # Opengraph image is directly returned as thumbnail
    “None”

      Oh I didn’t realise this! I’ll have to investigate more. Even if you want proxying, it makes way more sense to use the proxy image functionality that actually deletes the images after a period of time.

      Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I’m quite excited about it 😆

      Edit: seems like it’s been an option since 0.19.0!
